Tennessee coach Donnie Tyndall said in a release that Woodson planned to transfer to a school where he could "have a larger role on the basketball court." Woodson added in the same release that he hoped to find a school that was a better fit.

The release said that Woodson had missed every practice this week in the run-up to Tennessee's Sunday home game against No. 15 Butler (8-1). Woodson was also listed as inactive for the team's victory over Kansas State last Saturday.

The 6-foot-10, 20-year-old Woodson averaged 3.5 points and two rebounds in four games for the Volunteers (3-3) this season. He transferred to Tennessee prior to the start of this year after a season with Memphis, where he averaged 2.5 points and 1.9 rebounds in 20 games.
